A three-mode transforming wheel comprises a turnplate, hubs, a plurality of connecting rods and outer rims corresponding to the connecting rods, wherein the turnplate is movably connected between the two hubs in a sleeving manner; two ends of the connecting rods are rotationally connected with the turnplate and the outer rims; the outer rims are rotationally connected with the hubs. According to the invention, switching among three modes, i.e. the round mode, the arc mode and the claw mode, is realized through forward rotation and reverse rotation of a motor, and the obstacle crossing and passage capacity of vehicles provided with the transforming wheel is significantly improved.
